This video by an American politician is worth watching. It's
basically about Hansen's fee-and-dividend proposal, but he uses the term
"carbon rebate" rather than "carbon tax" - focussing on the dividend
side of the proposal. His comparison of the rebate cheque with the
deniers' lump of coal is particularly effective. A fee-and-dividend
system would have to be global to have much effect, but national systems
would be a good place to start

About Me

Over a total of eight months in 1987 and 1989 I walked from Clearwater, BC, to Toronto, ON, a distance of about 4,000 km. Purpose of the walk was to have been a round-the-world pilgrimage to India and back to honor Mahatma Gandhi. Unfortunately, a minor but persistent foot injury (plantar fasciitis) forced an end to the walk. However, as this blog shows, the walk continues, but in a different form.
'Presently, I am the editor of the Clearwater-North Thompson Times in Clearwater. In 2011 and 2014 the Canadian Community Newspaper Association awarded the Times first place for best all round newspaper in its circulation class. The Times has been a top three finalist 10 times for General Excellence with BC and Yukon Community Newspaper Association in its circulation class during the 13 years I have been editor, and won first place in 2006, 2010 and 2014. My hobbies include hiking, cross-country skiing, and photography.
I was born in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. In 1971 I graduated with a B.Sc. in Biology from Notre Dame University of Nelson, B.C. I was in Freetown, Sierra Leone (West Africa) for two years, 1974 and 1975, doing research on oyster culture.
